Have you enabled the mailing logging feature thats available as of PHP 5.3 and not defined a mail log setting (mail.log)

Hi Kalle,

Yes that was it my php.ini file had "mail.log = " uncommented by default.  Once I removed that line the warning disappeared.  

Thank you for your help.  Sorry for the bogus report.

Regards
  Jeffrey

The php.ini-recommended and php.ini-dist in CVS need to have the mail.log entries commented out by default.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.
